BOZ Christmas....our favorite!


Playing with presents before Church on Sunday. We only play with this one when Canon is sleeping :)

Happy Birthday Sweet girls! I love you with all my heart and you have been a precious joy to mother. As I ponder upon your first 3 years, I look with excitement on the years to come. The joys of mothers and daughters! I love you!

oops!

The girls have been spending a LOT of time in this huge bathtub with lots of bubbles lately. Canon likes to get in too, but doesn't stay long and play like the girls do.
In our new house the tub and showers were just delivered and even though we are super excited about our deep tub, it is nowhere near as big as this! :)

Canon likes to spend his time playing with his noise maker. He used to push the buttons with his pointer finger, but now he stands and pushes them with his feet since that is how I usually turn it on

The girls each grabbed a banana off the counter on Sunday and later when Phillip walked into the kitchen, he found Canon with a banana too....all over his clothes!

I've had a lot of "oops!" moments since we have lived in this apartment. More than normal I should say :) First of all, I burned 2 pans before I finally found success with the 3rd pan while making pancakes last week. I lit a very small fire last night in the kitchen when I put the hot pad directly on the stove. I made some really ugly cookies, which tasted really good by the way. I burned an entire bowl of chocolate while making these. And for the above picture....let's just say not all things are meant to be ironed on :)

WELCOME

Welcome to our new blog 4 God be the Glory! Since we are expecting our 4th child in April, we thought it was appropriate to change from atleyandavery.blogspot.com and include the rest of the family! This blog will be just like the other, my attempt to keep friends and family involved and updated on our lives here in St. Louis. Stay tuned for more blogs and pictures coming soon!
